Ingredients
- 1 4/5 lb ground beef
- 0.5 medium onion
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 1 jalapeño
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper
- 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup garlic sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried mint
- equal parts parsley
- equal parts onion
- sprinkle sumac
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 400°F (392°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, chopped parsley, grated jalapeño, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil.
- 3Mix the meat mixture thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated; avoid over‑mixing to keep the kafta tender.
- 4Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even rectangle about 1‑inch thick.
- 5Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, score the rectangle into individual portions (approximately 6‑8 pieces) as shown in the reference video.
- 6Bake the kafta in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the interior reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (160°F).
- 7While the kafta bakes, prepare the yogurt sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, garlic sauce, lemon juice, and dried mint until smooth.
- 8For the salad, combine equal parts fresh parsley and finely diced onion in a bowl; drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt.
- 9When the kafta is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes; then sprinkle the salad mixture over the top and finish with a light dusting of sumac.
- 10Serve the sheet‑pan kafta hot, accompanied by the prepared yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
